The North-west and North-central Nigeria have experienced increased instances of hostilities recently, including banditry, cattle rustling and kidnapping etc.
The attacks have led to a series of displacement lately. The security situation remains fragile despite efforts by the government and security units to restore peace and stability in all parts of the affected states.
Based on information gathered by DTM staff in Zamfara, there have been reports of attacks within villages near the border, with many of the villagers moving out of the affected locations to nearby villages. Between the 2nd and 12th of October, attacks led to large movements of people to different locations in other LGAs within and outside the states in North-west and North-central regions.
